Three Vibrio isolates from the coral Pachyseris speciosa as draft genome resources

ABSTRACT Vibrio coralliilyticus SCP4, Vibrio harveyi SCP5, and Vibrio sp. SCP2 were isolated from the coral Pachyseris speciosa in Singapore, adding to reports of Vibrio in tropical corals. Their draft genomes variably encode types II, III, and VI secretion systems, toxR , and vc...

Sovereign Zero-Knowledge Governance for National Health Insurance and Preventive Medicine AI: Prohibiting Raw Epidemiological Weight Contagion, Algorithmic Worker Profiling, and Central Data Aggregation Across Occupational Health Funds

Public health ministries are increasingly deploying centralized artificial intelligence (AI) systems to aggregate subscriber health records and prescribe preventive medical interventions across occupational and municipal insurance funds. Specifically, Japan's Ministry of Health,...

The UAP2-BRR2b Module Regulates Low-Temperature Hypocotyl Elongation by Modulating Pre-mRNA Splicing in Arabidopsis

Plants adapt to low temperatures through transcriptomic reprogramming, yet how the core spliceosome maintains splicing fidelity during cold-regulated development remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP-associated protein 2 (AtUAP2) in A...

Statistical Evidence for a DQN-Family Advantage in a Resource-Coupled Satellite-Ground Scheduling Benchmark

Resource-coupled satellite-ground scheduling requires decisions whose computational, energy, thermal, and communication effects persist across task arrivals. We tested whether the deep Q-network (DQN) family provides a reproducible advantage over short-horizon planning in a synth...

Reforming Institutional Design for Fairness: Evictions from Toronto Community Housing, 2002–2014

Abstract This article examines institutional safeguards for fairness in rent-arrears evictions from the Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC). It reconstructs the reform sequence that led to the adoption of a novel—possibly unique—institutional mechanism: the Office of the...

Adaptive Risk-Aware OpenStreetMap Planning for Scalable Radial Distribution Networks

A street-constrained distribution-network synthesis framework is evaluated using open geographic data, physical medium-voltage (MV) outage consequences, and benchmark electrical checks. A synthetic radial case study in Queens, New York, compares minimum-hop Dijkstra, minimum-span...

GENDER POETICS & INTERPRETATION OF HAFEZ'S DIVAN: PARALLELS IN J. W. VON GOETHE'S AND A. VON PLATEN'S WORKS

ABSTRACT This article provides an interpretative analysis of J. W. von Goethe's West–östlicher Divan through the lens of gender poetics. The methodology employs a triangulation approach, juxtaposing selected works by three authors: Hafez Shirazi, Goethe and A. von Platen‐Hallermü...

A critical comparative policy analysis: Older worker retention in Canada and Sweden

Abstract Population ageing across OECD countries has cultivated an interest in policies to extend working life. However, the ability to extend working life is unequal between job sectors, with older workers engaged in physically demanding work already experiencing challenges to w...

Exclusive Detection of Dimethyl Sulfide by a Pd–WO3 Sensor with the CuO/Al2O3 Filtering Overlayer

Abstract Selective detection of trace (weakly reducing) dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in highly humid exhaled breath using metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensors, with the presence of strong reducing H2S interference gas, is essential for the early diagnosis of hepatic diseases. Howeve...

A preference for sameness and associated positive emotions in interindividual discrimination, even when based on chance

It was recently demonstrated that people allocate more money to another person when they both demonstrate the same outcome versus a different one, even when the outcome is based on chance. Different theoretical frameworks predict whether this effect reflects a preference for same...

FAK Mediated Coordination of Extracellular Matrix Remodeling and Cellular Mechanics Impairs Nanomedicine Delivery in Solid Tumors

ABSTRACT Tumor extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and cell‐intrinsic mechanical properties critically limit nanoparticle (NP) delivery, yet how these multiscale biophysical cues are coordinately regulated remains unclear. Here, we identify focal adhesion kinase (FAK/ PTK2 ) as...

PRAME predicting outcome in uveal melanoma

Abstract Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intra‐ocular malignancy in adults and carries a high risk of metastatic disease, affecting approximately 50% of patients despite advances in local tumour control. PRAME (PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma) has emer...

RMND1 dysfunction causes OXPHOS deficiency and alters mitoribosomal protein homeostasis in vivo

Abstract Pathogenic, bi-allelic variants in RMND1 typically manifest as an early-onset multisystemic mitochondrial disease, yet the consequences of RMND1 dysfunction in vivo remain poorly understood. To answer this question, we generated and characterized the first in vivo model...

Numerical Study of Magnetohydrodynamic Bioconvective Flow over a Curved Surface with Radiation and Thermal Solutal Effects

This study investigates the influence of chemical species on magnetized bioconvection flow of a viscous nanofluid over a stretching curved surface. The analysis incorporates the effects of Brownian motion, Thermophoresis, Thermal radiation, and internal heat generation/absorption...

Digital service providers, emerging e-retailers, and rent creation and capture in cross-border e-commerce ecosystem

The rise of emerging e-retailers in cross-border e-commerce reflects shifting competitive dynamics in digital ecosystems long dominated by global platform giants. To recalibrate attention from incumbent platform giants to digital service providers (DSPs) and emerging e-retailers,...

SHPO-CON-63: State Historic Preservation Officer Concurrence Letter for Lower Sudden Ranch Grazing Unit Fences Project

This document is a State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) concurrence Letter for Lower Sudden Ranch Grazing Unit Fences Project. The SHPO concurred with the no adverse effect finding.

Broadband Near-Field Imaging of Strong Polariton Coupling in Graphene/CrI3 Heterostructures

Abstract Interfacial charge transfer in van der Waals heterostructures provides a powerful, contact-free mechanism to activate two-dimensional plasmons. Chromium iodide (CrI3), a layered ferromagnetic insulator, induces significant doping in adjacent graphene, yet its nanoscale p...

Ultrasound velocity profiling of wood chips flow in an industrial application

Abstract Ultrasound velocity profiling (UVP) was applied to an industrial impregnation vessel containing wood chips and liquid. The method could successfully determine the velocity of the wood chips by measuring through the 15 mm thick steel wall. The measuring depth is and cover...

One Rulebook in Practice: A Layered Framework for Cybersecurity and Data Protection Compliance in Nigerian Organisations

This preprint proposes a six-component conceptual framework to help Nigerian organisations, especially SMEs, manage overlapping cybersecurity and data protection obligations as one programme. Drawing on the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, the amended Cybercrimes Act, recent reg...
